Engr. Cheryl Roxas at two conferences in Malaysia

Engr. Cheryl Lyne C. Roxas, asst. professor and vice-chair of the CE Department, attended two conferences held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Awam International Conference in Civil Engineering 2015 (eco-AICCE 2015) was held in conjunction with the International Construction Week organized by the School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia and the Construction Industry Development Board on 9-11 September 2015. This year’s theme is Propelling the Nation’s Competitiveness through Sustainable Infrastructures. She presented her research on "Drying Shrinkage of Fly Ash Mortar Mixed with Seawater."

 

Roxas also attended the 9th Asia Pacific Structural Engineering and Construction Conference and 8th ASEAN Civil Engineering Conference (APSEC-ACEC 2015) organized by the University Teknologi Malaysia and sponsored by the ASEAN University Network Southeast Asia Engineering Education Development Network (AUNSEED-Net)/Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on 03-05 November 2015.She presented a paper on "Evaluating the Causes of Delay in Philippine Government Road Construction, Repair and Rehabilitation Projects."

The two conferences in Malaysia brought together experts, practitioners, faculty, students and government officials and highlighted a wide range of issues to enhance knowledge, increase awareness and explore new ideas and thinking in structures, civil engineering and construction.

DLSU Professor, Andres Oreta and part-time faculty members, Marabelle del Prado (MSCE) and Adrian Dy (BSMS-CE) attended the 10^th Pacific Conference on Earthquake Engineering (PCEE2015) held on November 6-8, 2015 at Menzies Hotel, Sydney, Australia. Del Prado and Dy were supported by DOST-ERDT being ERDT scholars when they were enrolled in the Master's program at DLSU.  The PCEE2015 which had the theme, “Building an Earthquake Resilient Pacific” consisted of Plenary sessions in the morning and Concurrent sessions in the afternoon focusing on various topics on earthquake engineering - seismicity, unreiforced masonry, performance-based design, diplacment-based design, geothecnical engineering, base isolation, steel and concrete structures, risk assessment and geohazards. The following papers from DLSU were presented in the Earthquake Engineering sessions on Performance-Based Design and Damage Assessment, respectively:

1.    Del Prado and Oreta, “Application of a Proposed Methodology on Performance-Based Assessment to a RC Heritage Building in the Philippines”

2.    Dy and Oreta, “Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Setback Buildings Using Pushover Analysis.”

The conference was attended by researchers, professors and scientists from various countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Korea, India, USA, China and Taiwan. In the conference, there were five from the Philippines (three from DLSU, one from ASEP and one Filipina, Muriel Naguit enrolled at Australia National University).
